MASTER NICK REEVE

6th Dahn Black Belt School Owner.

Master Nick Reeve is the head instructor and school owner of Kuk Sool Won Central London and has been training for over 30 years. His passion for Kuk Sool Won is evident in his teaching style and he hopes that his enthusiasm rubs off on students of his classes.

After seeing a demonstration of Kuk Sool Won at his local school fete in 1988, Master Nick Reeve joined the Mildenhall club under Master Steve Isaacson and has been hooked ever since. As quite a shy 12 year old, Kuk Sool Won initially gave Nick some much needed confidence and showed him that he could excel despite his diminutive height. Nick managed to continue his training through the 'tricky teenage years' where so many of his training partners quit and gradually worked his way up the belts. In 1994, Nick was awarded his 1st Degree Black Belt in Norwich by Kuk Sool Won founder and Grandmaster In Hyuk Suh and from that day he realised that he had only just begun his training.

Nick's progression to Master has involved developing expertise in all aspects of Kuk Sool Won, however he excels in kicking, forms, weapons and acrobatics. Training aside, Kuk Sool Won has given Nick so much including the opportunity to travel the world and meet lots of great people.

Throughout the years, Nick has been an avid competitor and has competed in every British and European WKSA tournament from their inception in 1991 up until his Master promotion in 2012. Along the way he has won many medals including a gold in forms in Korea, 2005 and being the first person to be awarded under black belt grand champion in the UK. The elusive title of grand champion at black belt level is something that Master Nick never achieved and proved to be a great motivator for both competing and training in general.

In recent years, Nick has become more involved 'behind the scenes' in World Kuk Sool Association (WKSA) UK (a role that he enjoys very much) and can usually be found behind the computer at tournaments. He is also a member of the national Seminar Tour Team which is something that he feels extremely honoured by.

Nick moved to London in 2002 and in 2006 he opened this club which has gone from strength to strength with many students attaining the black belt level and some even the title of grand champion. He hopes he can continue to share his enthusiasm for Kuk Sool Won with many new students in the years to come.
